Arsene Wenger: It feels like Petr Cech never played for Chelsea

PART OF THE FURNITURE: Wenger is impressed by how well Cech has settled at Arsenal

Cech faces his old team, Chelsea, at The Emirates on Sunday and his displays since joining for £11m in the summer have helped take the Gunners to the top of the table.

“I consider him now as a real Arsenal player who looks to me as if he's been here forever because he has adapted so well and integrated to team spirit,” said Wenger.

Wenger also admitted his players needed to keep their cool against the Blues, having seen centreback Gabriel sent off for a little kick at hothead Diego Costa when they lost 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in September.

The red-card was later rescinded, but Wenger revealed he was keen for his men to not react and had spoken to them about it.

“We are convinced that our points and our record are linked to our discipline,” he added.

“On the day (then) we suffered because we were a bit unlucky with the decision of the referee.

“I believe we have a very strong record on the disciplinary front in the Premier Leage, and we want to maintain it.”
